I went to see my good friend Ed today. We had the big plans of the machining of the countershaft cover to match the offset sproket, you know we were gonna do a little work on the Bonneville 90 too. Planning and brainstormng etc. etc.

Well Ed had some 12 year old scotch, and ahh well we did a whole bunch of brainstorming, and the scotch was good too. After sipping the scotch the machining did not seem so important.

Ahh another relaxing creative day of not machining.

That was some very good scotch.

If you do some machining first.....

THEN...drink the scotch......

You DO get more work done..

LOL :

[cobra23]

Well....

Changed jobs, this will somewhat interrupt the project. Soon I will be in the Foundry, working in Washington, commuting to Ferntucky.

If you are a Quality Manager looking for a job.....I know of a vacancy here in the Reno area...


LOL!!!!!   

[cobra23]

  A CHAIN...

all I need is a chain, and to be home long enough to put it on and start the bike, but I am sitting here in Washington State.

New Job is great though. Any club activities around 23-28 Dec, I'll be home then.

[cobra23]

YEaahhhhYY...

Came home for Christmas with the grandson there, and all that happy family stuff. Managed to rebuild the petcock.

At this rate I will be done in the year 2020.

Dam.

Home in January, dead battery in Ducati.

Too many household chores to get done to work on the bike.

What is the best dry cell battery out there for the Ducati, I will use the same batt. for the KZ.

SPL are you there....I have heard the odyssey is good. (dont think I spelt that right)

[cobra23]

OK,

Where can I get an Odessy dry cell (or Gel Cell) battery?

I need one for the Ducati, and another for the KZ, preferably the two are same size, so I would be ordering two Ducati Monster batteries.

[cobra23]

OK what is the El ninio thing...

I spend 3 weeks in the Washington wet dreary weather, looking foward to coming home to Ferntucky and sunshine. So I flew home last weekend......and there is friggn 8 inches of snow in my yard....

I want to complian to the management...

Basically did nothing but clean the garage and watch TV. World Superbike first televised race of the season is on Speed this Sunday 28 Feb. at noon (shamefully I am turning into a telivision expert).

I'll be in the Washington apartment...watching it whilest the mist and rain be coming down outside. Hope you all have the nice weather in Reno.

[cobra23]

5000 views...amazing.

Thanks.

Bike is still sitting in Ferntucky garage, waiting for a chain, and some lighting. Perhaps a month or so.

Working away from home is a bit of a bummer for progress.

Going home this weekend, gonna get the dam chain.

Bummer. Maybe I will bring it to a trackday just to show it.
